  • 3. Structuring Your Company in the UK
    30148 bd South Africa:30148 South Africa bd 24/04/2009 15:07 Page 21 3. Structuring your company in the UK 3.1 Making sure the law is on your side – The legal framework governing company registration in the UK The primary legislation governing the incorporation and registration of companies in the UK is the Companies Act 1985 (CA85). It should be noted, however, that CA85 is being replaced progressively by the Companies Act 2006 (CA06) between the date of publication of this book and 1st October 2009. Care should be taken to ensure that reference is made to the provisions in force at the time of reading and professional advice should be sought on the applicable provisions, in the event of any doubt. The UK consists of three distinct jurisdictions for company law purposes: (i) England and Wales. (ii) Scotland. (iii) Northern Ireland. This chapter concentrates on the rules that apply in England and Wales, although the rules for Scotland are also very similar. The rules for Northern Ireland are also similar, but they are currently contained in a separate piece of legislation (the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 and there are a number of differences and the reader is recommended to take specialist advice, if considering establishing a company there. It should be noted that, like CA85, the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 is being replaced progressively by CA06 and once the CA06 has been fully implemented, with effect from 1 October 2009, it will, except in some limited circumstances, apply to the whole of the UK.

Why is government intervention necessary? All UK companies must have a registered office within the UK to which all communications and notices can be addressed. Companies House receive complaints that some companies cite as their registered office the address of another business or private individual, which they are not authorised to use. This leads to undesirable consequences (which vary in severity) for the individuals or businesses affected. The Companies Act 2006 currently only allows the company itself to change voluntarily its registered office address. The aim of the proposed regulations is to address this regulatory failure, and provide a quick and expedient process for the Registrar of Companies to change a company’s registered office address when a complaint is made and the Registrar considers that the company is not authorised to use the address.
